Customer Rating:
Summary: Would have recieved 5 stars if...
Comment: A few points:
1) too small - too large...it is irrelevant since you can adjust the sensitivity on a mouse to compensate for mousepad size.
2) the gel rest is in fact very comfortable and the surface is very rugged. I had one for 3 years and the only major difference was a slight color variance on the gel rest surface after years of contact with skin oils. Yes...it is easily puncturable by children with scissors, as a former reviewer mentioned...but so are bicycle tires, eyeballs and kittens...thus why supervision may be necessary on the common sense level.
3) The mousing surface requires wiping down every once in a while. After 4 years it looked practically brand new with regular (once a week) cleaning.
4) I talked to Fellowes a while back when I bought my first one of these models. The 5th star was lost because this model does seem to have a problem with a bad chemical smell when I first purchased it - I was worried that the chemicals in the gel were actually seeping through the gel rest casing and onto my skin. Upon speaking to someone at the company I was told that it is not the chemicals that is making the smell...it is that fact that some people's skin oils just have that reaction with the plastic gel casing. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it does happen to an unlucky few who have the right body chemistry. They told me the smell would cease in 2-3 weeks of use....and it did completely.
All in all this model does what it was meant to do - it's not going to win any academy awards, but on the flip side it's not the devil either. I own a logitech optical mouse and everything works fine with me on each of the 3 I have purchased. It is a very pleasant blue, the rest is rather comfortable and the plastic gel casing is a nice change from the fabric covering that most other mousepads w/rests use. If they learned to make a gel casing that wouldn't react to some skin chemistries...this would get a 5 star rating from me. (at the very least the chemical smell should be mentioned on the packaging and brief explanation given)

Summary: This thing was pretty good, until the glue went bad
Comment: I've had two of these over the past seven years. I lost the first one in a move, and went to buy another one because I really liked the first one. The second one was okay, until the glue broke down on the pad and the pad part of it started to buckle after about six months of use. It's difficult to roll a mouse across a lumpy surface.
The wrist rest part of it is great, and so rather than spend money on another pad, I just wound up cutting off the pad part and keeping just the wrist rest part, and using my optical mouse on the desk surface itself.
Unlike other reviewers, I did not have a problem using my Microsoft Optical mouse (which is almost ten years old) on the pad. I also did not have any smell upon first getting the pad.
I might have just gotten a dud with this one, as the first one I had was really good, so I can't tell you not to buy this mouse pad. I recommend the wrist rest thoroughly, and the company does sell those by individually.

Summary: Comfortable Mouse Pad
Comment: This mouse pad is a good size for normally sized mice and normally sized people. The wrist pad is firmer than many of the gel pads which I am familiar with. The mouse pad itself has a hard plastic surface which has held up well after 6 months of constant use. The pad does become dusty or dirty living in my office, but it is easy to clean. This might not be the ideal option for those affected by carpal tunnel syndrome, but it makes mousing more comfortable than with other mouse pad/wrist rest products I have used.

Summary: Cold Wrist Support
Comment: It works very well and is comfortable, but the wrist support is a plastic covered gel that seems like it is always cold. I would have preferred a cloth covered wrist support.

Summary: Great Wristrest
Comment: I got this new mouse pad/wrist rest when I got my new trackball mouse. I had read the reviews and I was impressed by the reviews that said the gel did not compress like the foam types.
So far, my expectations have been met. The wrist rest is comfortable and it does not compress like my old foam one did.
Being as I use a trackball, I did have one problem. My trackball mouse slid all over the pad when I pressed a button. I would expect that to be good news for people who use the traditional roll around type of mouse.
My solution was to buy a set of those round non-slip jar openers for the kitchen. One of them under my mouse completely solved the slipping problem.
I like this mouse pad/wrist rest so much that I bought a gel pad wrist rest for my keyboard. They are both great!
